What is the origin of the media bias against anything conservative?
Q. While a few may debate whether the media has an agenda, it is clear from multiple news sources that there is an overwhelming bias against anything conservative. For example, consider the media's stance on abortion, contraception, the Republican Party, the war in Iraq, homosexuality, or religion. On each of these issues, the media is overwhelmingly on the left. This would seem to be a relatively recent phenomenon, and I am curious as to why this is the case.

A. Well, just watch Fox news if you want to hear from the right on a daily basis.

How does the media get the salaries of private individuals?
Q. Every year during tax season, we hear about how much other people are making. The media discusses both public and private people's salaries. It is as if people's IRS filings are a matter of public record. How is it that they are able to get that information? Can a citizen do the same?

A. The data doesn't come from the IRS, aside from aggregate information. No individual data is released by the IRS. Data on executives of publicly traded companies is included in their annual report and various SEC filings. Many people do participate in salary surveys. While this data generally doesn't release personally identifiable information, aggregate information is so tightly parsed that it may be able to identify a tiny handful of folks that it applies to. A Zip+4 postal code identifies only a handful of homes so guessing becomes easy. Companies such as Choice Point and Lexis-Nexis mine huge amounts of data from publicly accessible sources and you'd be shocked at how much information they have on you.

A. I have an hp as well but i think you should update the media player from 10 to 11 using the microsoft updates website. If you have a pirated version of windows it won't work. p.s: (don't use media player, it sux, use GOM for video and WINAMP for audio, with media player you need to install codecs for everything!)
